PROPOSAL ON BORNU STATE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA RESEARCH ON
KIDNEY FAILURE BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU,THE FOUNDER,ENCYCLOPAEDIA EXPRESS MULTIMEDIA
GROUP OF LAGOS,NIGERIA...
HISTOLOGY OF THE DISEASE!!!
These are often difficult to cure,a patient who have a sudden
and serious case on his kidney can go through this over a very long time.
Patients who have suffered from a kidney disease for a very
long time may also develop several cases of high blood pressure.
Kidneys could be affected by abscess ,tuberculosis with
diseases like Bilharzia and Gonorrhoea likely to cause infections that can
spread from the urethra or bladder to the kidney.
If a person's kidney becomes seriously diseased or damaged
,one of them is sometimes replaced with
a kidney from a healthy person.
This could involve a long and complicated surgical operation
called a kidney transplant with patients having diseased kidneys being kept
alive for many years through artificial kidney machine.
Kidney failure could be classified as acute when the onset
is sudden or chromic,acute kidney
failure results in reduced output of urine,abnormally high levels of nitrogenous substances ,potassium
,sulphates and phosphates in the blood and abnormally low blood levels of
sodium,calcium and carbondioxide.
The affected person recovers in six weeks or less.
CAUSES OF KIDNEY FAILURE:
This includes the destruction of the tubules in the kidney
by drugs or organic solvents such as
carbon tetrachloride acetone and ethylene glycol,exposure to compounds of
metals such as mercury ,lead and uranium
,physical injuries or major surgery causing much loss of blood or an increase
in blood pressure ,severe burns and incompatible blood transfusions.
Renal failures can also result from diseases that
destroy the cortex of the kidney from
severe bacterial infections of the kidney ,from diabetes that causes
destruction of the medulla or inner surface of the kidney and from the over
abundance of calcium salts in the kidneys.
Kidney failures can also occur in situations where there is
blockage of the renal arteries,liver
diseases and obstruction of the urinary tract but all of the rarely ever happens.
Chronic renal failure is usually the results of a prolonged
diseases of the kidney and in chronic failure
the blood becomes more acidic
them normal thus leading
to the loss of calcium from the bones with nerve degeneration
happening as well....
A diseased kidney can
sustain life until about 90 percent of its functional capacity has being lost
and when this occurs,the healthy portion increases its work to compensate for the lost part.
If a kidney is removed
then the other increases in size and functions to handle the over load .
Treatment when the failure of both kidneys occurs requires
dialysis by means of an artificial kidney machine and in cases of less severe kidney failure
this processes allows the kidney tissue the proper tie to rest and repair itself .
If inadequate recovery does not occur a kidney transplant
may be considered ....
ADVANCES IN MODERN THERAPY:
Professor Gbenga Awobusuyi ,The Dean ,Faculty of Clinical
Sciences ,The Lagos state University Teaching Hospital ,Ikeja,Lagos,Nigeria
confirmed of a National Renal Database upon been querried.
He insisted that in the near foreseeable future there was
the possibility of pocket sized gadgets worn to be used for the kidney without
the patient necessarily having to go to a dialysis
center..
He revealed that due to advances in modern medicines ,there
were now powerful injections that could prevent the rejection of kidneys.
He agreed that it was time for modern medical experts and their traditional partners
parley to move humanity forward .
Studies were now on about finding solutions to heat induced
kidney failures due to the effects of global warming.
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM GLOBAL MEDICAL JOURNALS
The Kidney International Supplements ,The official Journal
of the International Society of Nephrology ,Volume Two ,Issues five ,dated
December,2020,Page 347 ,Chapter 2 ,agreed that the achievement of a healthy
change in blood pressure requires a lot of efforts from the patient.
It is also generally accepted that a combination of life
style modifications and drug therapy should be used to lower the blood
pressure in patients ,however
escalations will depend on the blood pressure upsurge.
It recommended limiting alcohol intake to not more than two
standard drinks daily for men and not more than one standard drink per day for
women.
In kidney International ,official Journal of the
International Society of Nephrology ,Volume 82,issue 11 ,December,2012 ,Page
1239 ,it tells the story of the unusual
cause of renal failure when there was an elevated liver enzyme.
It stated of how a 45 years old male patient was diagnosed
with renal failure due to an hypertension he had developed two years
previously and at the time there was the
presence of serum creatinine and
evidence of a liver disease with liver
enzymes on the increase.
However,when live biopsy was done there could not be revealed any further specific cause and upon progression of renal
failure the patient was taken in for
further evaluation.
The patient had no formal complaints as his physical examination did not reveal
anything untoward but in identifying the patients renal failure ,Kidney biopsy
was performed and results deducted in the process.
